Han Solo composer has been announced as John Powell. http://www.starwars.com/news/john-powell-to-score-untitled-han-solo-movie Also Ron Howard has confirmed that Warwick Davis has a part in the movie. He directed him in a scene 30 years after first working with Warwick on Willow. http://variety.com/...

I feel that Palpatine had two separate events. His plan to take control up to the end of the Clone Wars. Then a separate plan when trying to destroy the Rebel Alliance (ie a plan to lure the Rebels to their death). The movies had Palpatine as xenophobic as there was no aliens controlling his miltary...

Creative differences cited for losing Lord and Miller. This is code for fights with Kathleen Kennedy. I've heard the media described Lord and Miller as "risk takers" while Ron Howard as sticking to script. Jokes floating around is there will now be a character call Opie Wan Kenobi and Han Solo to we...

Not sure what happened to Wedge, Ewan may have had prior engagements. As for Natalie, she hates Star Wars. She claims it almost ruined her career. Considering Natalie Portman only had a child recently I didn't expect her to be there. As I mentioned earlier, Denis Lawson aka Wedge was there. Here is...

I've watched all the extras and was underwhelmed by them. The intros to the characters didn't tell me anything that watching the movies several times hadn't already. The others were dull. I was expecting the deaths of the Rogue One team prior to seeing the movie and yet the extras told me it was mea...

Vibroblade even GL states he sanctioned people playing in his universe but it was never his vision for his characters. Disney are pulling the popular portions of the EU to woo fans. Javen in a way you are right. It will also comfort you Mags in that Paramount learnt that fans will leave if you stray...

Kathleen Kennedy states that Carrie won't appear in Ep 9 as General Leia. She stated that Todd was mistaken. Some media are stating Carrie won't be in as General Leia. Thsi could have given false hope that old footage of Carrie as Princess Leia could have been used but the interview just states Carr...

I just hope they won't mess too much with Lucas's mythology... They rejected GL ideas for the new trilogy and they have begun to bring in characters from the EU. It's like when Gene Roddenberry died, Paramount felt they had the right to leave Gene's vision behind. When George accepted $4bil for LFL...

I think that by the end of Ep 9 that the Jedi will evolve into something else. The Jedi code will be perceived in holding back their development. This means more like the EU so attachment is allowed, embracing their emotions, etc.

Leia will appear in Ep9 using unused footage. Todd Fisher has confirmed this as the Fisher family had to give approval for Carrie's image to be used. Good news: There will be no CGI of Leia for the film. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-episode-9-carrie-fisher-appear-ix-as-leia...

My Star Wars page a day desk block gives me a fact day. If it has told me that a parsec is a unit of time; and Han won the Falcon in a game of sarbacc not sabacc, should I be as frustrated as I am? Haven't they heard of fact checking? Should I be concerned of how many kids / younglings are being led...

Be interesting to see how much of the rules of sabacc, that has been documented in the EU, survives to screen. The randomiser and the suspension field that prevents a card changing has always piqued my interest.

DblDwn, cast your mind back to Ep 2 as it was the Geonosians who created the original plans. I'm sure that Palpatine kept a copy of them. Galen only worked on the disc and getting it to work. The thermal port created to help cool the weapon reactor down. ;) Galen confirmed he wasn't needed but he ma...
